The orc troops returned to the sunrise City, which they had taken down in just ten days, with a heart full of unwillingness and helplessness. The orcs standing on the city wall looked at the Moonlight Plains in their dreams, and no one knew what they were thinking.
Once, they were so close to victory, but a single carelessness made the two-month campaign and 690,000 casualties seem so insignificant. It was like a person who had fallen into a maze and finally reached the end, only to find that there was still a wall in front of him.
They would never forget the cavalry in black armor, nor would they forget the cavalry general who used magic. It was he who led an unremarkable army and destroyed the hope of the orcs and everything they had.
Now, of course, they would not have thought that the general they hated to the core was Feng Rao. Constellation would eventually become their savior, the king they revered. History often exceeded people's expectations.
Of course, the orcs were not without gains. At least they had occupied the sunrise City and could use it as a stepping stone to attack the humans in the future. Moreover, the area around the Sunrise City had brought them rich resources, which was good news for the orcs who had been lacking these for many years.
After the orcs started to retreat, the demon troops who received the news had no choice but to stop their search. They knew that the human army would soon be able to reclaim the land here.
The Beastmen's defeat was within their expectations, but they didn't expect them to be defeated so quickly and helplessly. Perhaps the human race's combat power was even higher than they had expected.
"If it wasn't for that guy's appearance, everything would have been perfect, but this caused the death of 49 high-level demons. I'm sure I'll have to go back and nag Uncle Lucifer! Fortunately, the reconnaissance operation this time revealed the strength of the humans. Although they are stronger than expected, they are still not enough to resist our Dark Army.”
The Demon Commander thought to himself.
"And that guy who made me look for you for a long time. I must find out who you are the next time I come back. I will make you submit to me!"
When she said that, she didn't realize that she would fall into my hands the next time she came.
Facing the retreat of the beasts, the human soldiers who had not received the important news of the burning of the beast rations were at a loss. They could not believe that the beast army would give up so easily. They had already won.
When they learned that the orc army had given up on the Ao Long Castle and returned to the sunrise City, everyone cheered wildly. After facing the pressure of life and death for so long, what they needed was to relax. They celebrated this hard-won victory in various ways.
Some of the veterans were a little silent. On the battlefield, these veterans were the most important fighting force and were also the soldiers on the front line. After these few battles, the number of troops lost was very serious.
Seeing their friends and comrades who had been with them for a long time fall one by one, they chose to remain silent even in the face of victory. This was a way to commemorate the heroic souls who had sacrificed their lives for the Empire in the battle.
At this moment, I was leisurely riding on my horse. It wasn't easy for me to recover from the sadness of losing comrades a few days ago. Now, I had a desire for this power, because only powerful power could protect the people around me in this chaotic world.
I had a clear understanding of the direction of this war. After the surprise attack, I had already expected the orcs to fail. However, I didn't expect the orcs to be so stupid as to launch a suicide attack before the end. This was a waste of manpower.
"But if that's the case, there will be even fewer adult male orcs. Then each of them can marry four to five orc beauties (according to the orc's standards of beauty).”
I explained to my soldiers, causing them to burst into laughter.
May our laughter cheer our comrades who left us in the war! Just like that, we walked on the spacious road back to Ao Long Castle with relaxed steps.
When the first patrol team from Ao Long Castle discovered us, they were shocked.
We are the knights of the Imperial Dragon Knight Regiment. The iconic super-heavy armor inlaid with magic crystals on our bodies is a good indication of our identity. In the hearts of the patrol members, our cavalry unit should have died outside the Ao Long Castle along with Dongfang Yun.
After confirming our identities, they cheered and sent a signal in the direction of Ao Long Castle. The one with the best riding skills even rode back to report the details.
To them, every soldier who was able to break out of the Orc encirclement was worthy of the title of hero, not to mention such a well-organized and powerful cavalry unit!
As a commander, I was treated like a god. As a pitiful 'god', I was surrounded by them and asked questions, but I was too embarrassed to answer them. It was simply a form of torture for me.
(I don't like to communicate, and I've always been a man of few words. The nickname "Silent Knight" wasn't for nothing.）
When we arrived at Ao Long Castle, we were warmly welcomed by all the soldiers. That scene really touched me.
After that, they insisted on sending troops to escort us to Melia.
"What? Escort? Do we look like we need someone to escort us? Were there more than 20,000 orcs nearby? Or was it that the security here was particularly bad, with a large-scale bandit group of more than 50,000 people?”
Although I repeatedly emphasized that we had the ability to protect ourselves, the excited commander of the Ao Long Fortress insisted that we had made such a great contribution and spent so much effort behind the enemy's back. Now was the time for us to relax.
In the end, it was difficult to refuse such a generous offer. A 24,000-strong infantry division (the number of infantry divisions was twice the number of cavalry divisions) accompanied us to Meliya in the name of protecting us.
We cavalrymen had a very comfortable time on the road. All the junk on our backs were now taken care of by the infantrymen, which made us feel much more relaxed. If it wasn't for the fact that we had to maintain our image as knights, I think even our spears and armor would have been taken by the infantrymen.
The food we ate on the way was even better. The food cooked by the chef directly under the army was much better than the food cooked by the young men in our regiment.
"Sigh, when can I eat like this every day?”This gluttonous fellow couldn't help but sigh.
On the way there, I discovered that our soldiers had a bad habit of boasting. They were clearly attacking the transport team to snatch food to fill their stomachs, but in their words, they were attacking the orcs 'food base and defeating the 50,000 defending troops to obtain a large number of strategic resources.
It was clearly a sneak attack on the sunrise City, but in their words, it was a big battle with 150,000 orcs. In the end, they broke through the orcs from the center and rushed into the city to burn the orcs 'rations.
Of course, in all of these versions, I became the most important core character without exception. Basically, as long as I appeared, there would definitely be a storm, a gale, and the sun and moon would lose their light.
F * ck, if we had followed their instructions, we would have been wiped out several times. I didn't expect that the infantrymen would still be listening with great interest and completely didn't see the pile of loopholes. I didn't expect that this unintentional action would win me a great reputation in the future.
In such a relaxed atmosphere, the two-to-three-day journey took twice as long, but Melia's shadow finally appeared in front of me…
